some of our supporters need to grow a backbone

yes,yes I know its bad, but why so many detracting threads on here
FFS grow a backbone.
stop moaning and get behind the management and players and stop behaving like a load of silly screaming girls, its not going to change anytime soon.

Grow a backbone yourself and except we're shite at the moment but when SAMMI is gone "THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER"
Plus we need a striker on loan otherwise doesn't matter who the manager is

Normally I don't agree with you too often but on this one, 100% correct.

The Championship doesn't really take shape until the end of November/beginning of December. If Brighton are still 20th once the Christmas decorations are up, then it's time to worry. I doubt they will be though. Regardless, matching last season's play-off finish was always going to be a tall order this season after the loss of Ulloa and Kuszczak and another change of manager. Having a regular goalscorer in the ranks will enable Brighton to climb the table and at least get to around halfway.

Can you supply us with a couple of black cats to walk across the pitch pre-match?!!

Some of our supporters need to grow some eyes in their head and develop their shitdar.

I think we've done enough "postur-ating" about the spine of our team, to quote Sami almost vertebraetum, "baffling".

Personally my backbone has fully grown. My gripe is paying top dollar to watch bargain basement, then they have the audacity to try and flog me a shirt at half time. Sorry mate I am simply not enjoying the "matchday experience" as a customer paying well over a grand for 2 tickets to watch that slop. And before you say it I have been a season ticket holder for 10 years + and watched the dross games that was Mickey Adams second coming.

You weren't there were you? Conceding soft goals and rubbish finishing seem to be the norm at the AMEX but the lack of desire, cluelessness in possession and players standing around rather than making space was not acceptable yesterday. We didn't actually switch to top gear until the 88th minute or whenever it was we scored. It really was a piss poor performance.

I think raising the entrance fee is a bit of a dubious gamble. A chunk of fans are only going to wear it if the team are mainly winning. Of course if you don't raise th cost and the team does badly, at least you have a bit of goodwill to fall back on. As it happens the punter is obviously going to feel short changed.

If you are correct, watch our attendance's drop like stone. We cannot afford that so things will change soon, either Sami will get the team playing better, or Sami will be gone.

It was always said that you ignore the table until six games in, then that the table begins to tell a story after 10 games, we have now played 12. You want to extend the grace period until mid December, how deep into the sand do you want your head to go?

The club should be more concerned with getting the supporters through the gates for the football than the 'match day experience' right now. Our visitors yesterday know only too well what can happen to attendances when the football on offer is not up to scratch.

Yes we were dire yesterday. But we had some dire games last season too ( remember Barnsley?) The problem comes if you are consistently dire, and we haven't been. But the tactics, or the team, or both, just look wrong at the moment.

Geriatric Seagull · Oct 19, 2014

I think it's more the players who need to grow a backbone. Before the first goal we had made a half decent start but once that went in we started to drift. After half time the situation was exactly the same. O'Grady came on and had a couple of decent touches but then they scored again. Heads went down and the game died until we scored just before the end. For me the most telling moment came when there was a stoppage in play about ten minutes from time. Several Middlesbrough came over to their bench for instructions from their bench- none of our players did- and none of our "coaching" staff left their seats! Fighting for survival? Not this lot!

We have been fairly consistently dire, I would say.

We have won twice. Two games. A quarter of the season has gone and we are looking more clueless as time goes on.

This season, I have enjoyed two games. Bolton was fun, and made me optimistic, and Cardiff was ok too. Apart from that, it has been dire. Consistently.

And that shirt business...it just makes you think, do I want to do this anymore?

There's a beach outside my window come down and bury your head in the sand!

I think I missed the shirt business. What happened?
